Chapter 137: The Vicious Eldest Daughter (2)

However, the original owner's fate was too tragic. She was imprisoned, had her limbs cut off and turned into a human pig, and spent the rest of her life imprisoned in a jar. She was also used by the female lead to test medicine. Every time she was about to die, the female lead would save her and then continue to test medicine on her until she could no longer be saved. The female lead was too lazy to deal with her anymore, and then she died completely.

Wen Wan is a model citizen who wouldn't even step on an ant. It's one thing to be struck by lightning, but why does she have to suffer such an extreme fate when she's doing a mission?

Looking at her original self in the bronze mirror, with her willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips, exquisite and beautiful features, and skin as smooth as cream, she liked everything about her. She just wondered why such a stunningly beautiful woman would do something so wicked.

"Sigh~"

System: [Don't worry, host, I can block out all pain for you, so you won't feel uncomfortable at all.]

Originally, it wanted to send its host to a world where there were no humans, but for some reason, the Transmigration Bureau insisted on having it take its host to do this task that looked very difficult.

The host was already delicate, so this outcome would surely scare the host to death.

"Then what should I do?"

[This ensures the female lead can successfully activate the spiritual spring space and cure the male lead's illness and his face.]

"But how can I help?"

The system replied, "You can disguise yourself as a maidservant accompanying the bride, and while the female lead is drugged and forced to marry in her place, activate her jade pendant, and then leave."

"Alright."

There are still about half a month until the wedding of the Minister's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion. It seems that she can enjoy another half a month of lazy life. When the female lead comes back, she will have to start a life of being slapped in the face, and then die.

According to the plot she saw, Minister Chu Feng was a lecherous man who kept many mistresses. It was just that Chu Sisi and her daughter were too unlucky and were discovered by Madam Chu. Madam Chu was not a good person either. Apart from being sincere to her daughter Chu Huang, she was also a standard villain.

The original owner of this body was a vain and selfish woman. When Gu Xi was in power, she begged Madam Chu to ask the Empress Dowager for this marriage. She flaunted the title of Princess Consort of Xi everywhere. Later, after Gu Xi got into trouble, she quickly found a way out and directly refused the marriage, letting Chu Sisi marry in her place. Meanwhile, she went to seduce the Crown Prince and almost became the Crown Princess.

It can be said that in the end, evil deeds always meet their just deserts.

If this were the original Wen Wan, she would think it was deserved, but now that revenge is being taken against her, she is a great victim.

"Miss." Little Peach knocked on the door, and Wen Wan let her in.

"Miss, the doctor has been found, but the madam has not been informed."

Wen Wan nodded. "Well done." Then she casually pulled a hairpin from her hair and handed it to Xiao Taozi. "This is a reward for you."

Little Peach's eyes widened. This hairpin was one of the young lady's favorite ornaments. She had bought it from Wanbaozhai for three hundred taels of silver. Was she going to reward her with it?

Xiao Taozi hesitated to accept the hairpin, so Wen Wan stuffed it into her hand. Xiao Taozi's ending was also unfortunate; she was hated by the female lead and eventually beaten to death. However, in Wen Wan's opinion, Xiao Taozi was a loyal maid and not a bad person; she just followed the wrong person.

Moreover, she decided that after her supposed death, she needed to secure a way out, such as money. She would save this little peach and have her hide some money for her, so that Wen Wan could seek refuge with her later.

"Here's a gift from the young lady, so please accept it."

"Yes, Miss. Thank you for your kind gift."

Little Peach carefully put away the hairpin and said, "Miss, didn't you ask me to inquire about the Crown Prince? I found out that the Crown Prince and the Third Prince will be going boating on the lake tomorrow. Would you like to go and see them?"

Wen Yan: "..."

Although she herself did not consider herself very smart, it seemed unreasonable that a mere maid could find out the Crown Prince's itinerary.

How did you find out?

“My cousin’s husband works as a sedan chair carrier at the Crown Prince’s residence. I asked him about it.”

This sounded reasonable enough, and Wen Wan thought she was overthinking it. She told Xiao Taozi, "You don't need to inquire about the Crown Prince anymore."

"Why? Miss isn't—"

"I suddenly realized something. Although I don't want to marry Prince Xi, I also don't want to have anything to do with the Crown Prince. The royal family is too dangerous. I'd better stay away from it."

According to the original plot, this crown prince is also quite cunning and scheming.

However, he later fell in love with the female lead, but he couldn't compete with the male lead. Compared to the original Chu Huang, he was just a villainous second male lead with more screen time.

"Yes, miss."

"Little Peach, what are some good places to eat and fun places to visit in Mingzhou? Let's go explore!"

Little Peach: "???"

Looking at her young mistress in surprise, she asked, "Miss, what's wrong? You seem strange today."

Wen Yan: "..."

Well, women in this era faced quite a few constraints. These young ladies from wealthy families were confined to their homes to learn music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, hoping to marry into a good family in the future.

The higher one's status, the less willing they are to go out and show their face in public. The original owner was the same. Apart from staying at home, she would go to parties with young ladies from noble families and royal princesses to compete in beauty.

But it's really hard for modern-day Wen Wan not to be interested in this world.

"I just want to go out for a walk. Find me some clothes that are suitable for going out. I want to go out."

"Yes, Miss."

Soon, Wen Wan left the Prime Minister's residence with Xiao Taozi. She wore a white veil to cover her face. Although Wen Wan wanted to go out and play, she did not want to cause any trouble.

...

The palace was located in the center of Mingzhou, the most prosperous area. The streets were bustling. Wen Wan was like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, curious about everything she saw, and then she bought everything she saw.

Little Peach behind them was soon laden with things, and Wen Wan was also carrying quite a lot in her hands. In her other free hand, she was holding a bag of beef patties to eat. They were fragrant and juicy, and were simply the best beef patties Wen Wan had ever eaten in her life.

Halfway through my meal, I saw a stall selling roasted chestnuts and ran over. "Boss lady, one order, please."

"Miss, you've come at just the right time. This is the last one left, ten copper coins."

Wen Wan finished the beef patty in a few bites, then reached for her wallet. Just as she took it out, she felt someone bump into her, and a child snatched the wallet from her hand and ran away.

Wen Yan: "???"

Damn, I've been robbed in the street.

So he quickly ran after him, saying, "Boss, please save this one for me. I'll buy it when I come back."

"Miss—" Little Peach was terrified, but her young mistress had already run far away, so she could only chase after her.

Wen Wan only thought of chasing after the thief because he was a child. If it had been an adult, she would have reported him to the authorities. Fortunately, she caught up with the thief quickly and grabbed him by the collar. "Go ahead and run! Go ahead and run! You're so young, why are you stealing instead of learning good things? I'll drag you to the authorities."

Unable to break free, the child immediately knelt down, pleading, "Miss, please forgive me! I was wrong, please forgive me!"

He even kowtowed to Wen Wan. How could Wen Wan bear to see such a child like that? She quickly pulled him up, saying, "Get up first. If you kneel before me like this, I'll shorten my lifespan. Why did you steal my money?"

“My grandma is dying, and I want to buy her medicine. I'll pay you back the money, just don't take me to see the authorities.”

"real?"

"Then take me to see your grandmother. If it's true, I won't take you to see the officials."

"Okay, I'll take you to see my grandma."
